I played 99.9% of my game with 1-2 friend ( sometimes more but that's far too rare sadly ), and did some solo queue recently, and I actually found myself 'rage' far less in solo queue because I went there with 0 expectation of having decent human being with me, and didn't even try to really win those game.

I'm strongly considering tricking my friends into getting into Dota and ruining their lives. It's worth not having to solo queue 99% of the time.

Sigh.. I feel like this game is being ruined by players on NA servers not speaking english.
Communication is so vital and not being able to communicate kind of kills the game.

This. 90% of what you could possibly need to say can now be done across languages.

Got so pissed yesterday, got in a game, was doing well then it bugged and told me everyone got kicked from the match. So I log out and the gmae gives me a loss...

Maybe you should play with some of the people on your friends list. >.>
Word. Been solo queuing cuz I was in a funk and losing all the time but I played with gaf ppl yesterday and the game we got stomped was way less soul-crushing than usual. It was also all random so that probably had something to do with it.

Ember spirit its still pretty good even with the nerfs, too bad he gets fucked up 1 on 1 by many carries. Ember its all about ranged dmg.

Ugh, did not know Terrorblade's ult went through magic immunity. Very annoying to play around.
what hero?
Drow
but kirby said it should hit in a few moments..........
Weren't we supposed to burn him along with the other heretics a few days ago for their oracle ults?
Man cant believe some people go all the way to 4k or more solo mmr. Im stuck at 2.7k and win 50% of the matches. Even when I play very well cant do anything if 3 other players are just bad. Guess that most people with high solo MMR are mid laners that control the early game and gank?
You can be anything as long as you have a strong impact. Support doesn't mean you sit behind your carry and deny, it means you go and fucking kill everyone starting from level 1, bully the shit out of them, counter-TP dives, etc.
Basically gitgud, your very well and my very well and a 5k player very well are worlds apart.
i do half and half.
if my team's civil I usually go mid (or ursa safelane if im dire)
if they already instalocked the cores, i'll just go support. You'd be surprised how many games you win just because you rotate properly.
5425, started at ~4900 after calibration.
dota's just a game of picking the right hero.
and whichever team has the least barbarians
Whilst it may seem harsh, unless you are a smurf on the way up it's likely you are exactly where you should be in MMR. If you are getting matched with them they are roughly at your skill level when all factors are considered. That does not mean they are going to play at the average every game, so often you meet people on a hero they don't know well or are having a bad day in general.
Mid snowballers are good if you are way above everyone else in skill. This is likely not the case though. The article posted earlier has more info on this.
I think part of the reason solo MM is so hard is because everyone has this same attitude. When you have 5 players all assuming they are the best on their team and are just waiting for their teammates to fuck things up you get a really negative atmosphere. You make one mistake and people start pinging and insulting you.
There is a noticeable increase of teamwork and individual talent the higher you climb the MMR ladder. Of course, there are still games where you get stomped and have no coordination. My success to winning is to paly mainly support/roamers. Smoke early, create space, and make sure the map is warded in a way that the team can gank easily.

I think i'm starting to hate solo ranked games, if i fgo support my carries can't carry shit if go carry i end up with shit supports. Solo ranked is killing my soul.
*queues for solo ranked yet again*

I think I've been out of this thread for 2 OTs, but that was hilarious. Makes me want to play Dota again.
Phoenix abuser would queue withI'm above 4k and I rarely play mid or carry. I prefer support or offlane.
I could see a case for continuing to attack through BT if he had lifesteal. Did he have lifesteal?
Freedom makes you sloppy.
I never win this game.
Why can't the fucking guy who goes like 20/6 and gets a rampage ever be on my team?
Edit: I mean I get it, I'm not good. I'm okay with that, I'm okay with being mediocre at best. But there's typically somebody in the match who actually is good, and all I'm sayin is that guy is always on the other fucking team.

Alright, looks like my API crawler is working right. Not too sure how good my data is going to be (I'm making use of GetMatchHistory to get SteamIDs), but I have it collecting info on all equipped items right now. It seems to run at a decent speed, checking one account a second. If I can schedule a windows task for it, I should be able to have some good data in the morning.
